31. Magic Mike
4/5 Funny and actually has a decent bit to say. Good stuff. Saw on 6/30 |
|

32. To Rome with Love
3/5 Would have been markedly better without the Roberto Benini storyline. Saw on 7/1 |

34. Savages
3.5/5 Had highs and lows. Recommendable. Saw on 7/14 |

3.5/5 Got better as it went along. Should have known not to trust reviews on this one. Saw on 9/3 |
|
|

|
|
42. Dredd

|
|
43. Looper
4.5/5 Hard to find much I didn't like about this one! Most of all, I loved the direction. Some great action scenes. Cool little touches here and there. |
|
|
44. End of Watch
4/5 Kind of like a big screen Southland. Felt like the "filming ourselves" conceit could have been dropped and they just film it in that style, but I liked it. No crooked cop or big screwup cliches. Saw on 10/07 |
|
|
45. Argo
4/5 A nice thriller that takes some liberties with reality for the sake of more tension. Saw on 11/4 |
|
|
46. Flight
4.5/5 Mature and complex. Plane crash a highlight of movie scenes this year period. End was inevitable but either not handled well or just not to my taste? Saw on 11/9 |
|
|
47. Skyfall
3.5/5 maybe a little too hyped for me. Enjoyable, but as an action movie I think it failed. Saw on 11/10 |
|
|
48. Life of Pi
4/5 Very pretty and emotional. Great looking CGI; couldn't tell when the tiger was real/fake (was it ever real?). Saw on 11/24 |
|
|
49. Silver Linings Playbook
3.5/5 Saw on 11/25 |
|
|
50. Killing Them Softly
3/5 I don't mind movies with very small scope that just tell a simple tail, but at least give me some character richness to hold on to. Saw on 12/1 |
